NOTES

For users behind an http web proxy, life is hard. Openembedded cannot get updated because monotone does not support proxies. Subversion however does, both with http and https.
So, there are some commands to use only when you are directly connected to the internet:

make setup-openembedded
make update-openembedded

They are called as part of make setup and make update, respectively. They will update the timestamps in the stamps directory.

make update-openmoko does an svn update. It will work after setting up the proxy server in ~/.subversion/servers
Should your http proxy not allow PROPFIND method, you can try switchin to https. To do this you have to change the mokomakefile to do https checkouts and switch existing workdirs to https with svn switch --relocate http://URLhttps://URL

Open hand repository has a configuration for https that requires you to have their certificate installed and thus their software is not updatable behind a proxy

Best thing to do is to do a

. setup.env; cd build; bitbake -cfetchall openmoko-devel-image

from a place without proxy and try to solve further issue when compiling behind a proxy using the above tricks.

BOOT PHASE

I have run the bootchart tool on OpenMoko.
Results are pretty strange. CPU usage in always at full and flash memory usage is always zero.
